Figure 4

4930567H17Rik∆CDS/Y and Mageb5∆Arm∆CDS/Y mice display altered sperm morphology. (A) Sperm morphology characteristics calculated from assessment of DAPI images processed with a custom plugin to ImageJ22. All data were compared using an unpaired two-tailed t-test between 4930567H17Rik+/Y versus 4930567H17Rik∆CDS/Y and Mageb5+/Y versus Mageb5∆Arm∆CDS/Y. * p < 0.05 **p < 0.001, ***p < 0.0001. Additional parameters are shown in Fig S7. (B) Averages traces and shaded overlays of sperm head morphology from each genotype. Number of sperm assessed are shown inside each respective outline. Representative individual sperm nuclei are also shown in Fig S6B.
